Lipogenesis in an adult parasitic wasp.
The goal of this study was to determine the extent of lipogenesis in the parasitoid Eupelmus vuilletti (Hymenoptera: Eupelmidae). Carbohydrate and lipid metabolism were followed in glucose-fed and starved females over 3 days. Fed females increased their glycogen level, while maintaining their lipid level. Starved females used most of their glycogen, while maintaining their lipid level too. Thus...
متن کاملCoevolution of Rhagoletis hosts and their parasitic wasps
iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am deeply indebted to my advisor, Andrew Forbes, whose encouragement and support over the years has been invaluable. I wish to thank my committee, for their guidance, support and feedback. A special thanks goes to my lab-mates Amanda Nelson, Alaine Hippee, Kristina Ottens and Eric Tvedte for driving me crazy while keeping me sane over the past five years. Thank you to Eil...
متن کاملFacultative bacterial symbionts in aphids confer resistance to parasitic wasps.
Symbiotic relationships between animals and microorganisms are common in nature, yet the factors controlling the abundance and distributions of symbionts are mostly unknown. Aphids have an obligate association with the bacterium Buchnera aphidicola (the primary symbiont) that has been shown to contribute directly to aphid fitness. In addition, aphids sometimes harbor other vertically transmitte...
متن کاملVibratory stimuli in host location by parasitic wasps.
Parasitic wasps use a broad spectrum of different stimuli for host location and host acceptance. Here we review the published evidence for the use of mechanical stimuli, i.e. substrate born vibrations which are invariably regarded as vibrotaxis. We propose a set of criteria to class behavioural reactions as vibrotaxis or vibrokinesis and characterize 14 studies reporting the use of host-associa...
متن کاملReward Value Determines Memory Consolidation in Parasitic Wasps
Animals can store learned information in their brains through a series of distinct memory forms. Short-lasting memory forms can be followed by longer-lasting, consolidated memory forms. However, the factors determining variation in memory consolidation encountered in nature have thus far not been fully elucidated. Here, we show that two parasitic wasp species belonging to different families, Co...
